  1. Nobody Else But You (Poupoupidou)
    Writer-director Gérald Hustache-Mathieu sustains a fresh voice influenced by the Coen brothers and the infernal snow of "Fargo."
  2. Jumping the Broom
    You'll laugh - a lot - but you'll also shed tears of recognition at this funny, salty, strife-torn look at the agony and ecstasy of family.
  3. Thor
    It's not art, but it's mighty fun.
  4. Insidious
    A haunted-house movie that has some of the most shivery and indelible images I've seen in any horror film in decades. Yes, it's that unsettling.
  5. Cedar Rapids
    Sweetness makes the raunch in this honestly funny movie even funnier.
  6. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2
    The thrilling conclusion to a phenomenal cinematic story 10 years in the telling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 is proof that authentic movie excitement is its own form of magic.
  7. The Help
    The Help has a saucy, humorous side.
  8. The Amazing Spider-Man
    What's most amazing in The Amazing Spider-Man turns out to be not the shared sensations of blockbuster wow! the picture elicits, but rather the shared satisfactions of intimate awww.
  9. The Hunger Games
    A muscular, honorable, unflinching translation of Collins' vision. It's brutal where it needs to be, particularly when children fight and bleed.
  10. Mars Needs Moms
    The movie is also visually magnificent - modestly so. Plus, it's half the length of "Avatar."
  11. Beginners
    The movie darts, dreams, and sometimes seems to dance. The great Plummer, meanwhile, creates an inspiring, fully rounded man in late bloom, and McGregor responds with a performance to match.
  12. Heartbeats
    Xavier Dolan is back with another madly stylish Montreal-made delight.
  13. Of Gods and Men
    It is their shared strength as a band of brothers humble before their Christian God - and indeed before the God of Islam - that may stir viewers to an awe that transcends skeptical opinions about religion or politics.
  14. Moneyball
    The supersmart and rousing Moneyball, which may be the best baseball movie since "Bull Durham," is also about talk, but in a coolly heady and original inside-the-front-office way.
  15. A Dangerous Method
    Intelligent conversation about the interplay of erotic and destructive urges takes place over cups of tea in fine bone china. Yet the movie is a radically modern story about sex.
  16. Hugo
    Hugo both ticks and flies by, a marvel meant to be pulled from the cabinet and enjoyed again and again.
  17. The Ides of March
    Clooney certainly brings out the best in his actors, but his driving trait as a filmmaker is that he knows what plays - he has an uncanny sense of how to uncork a scene and let it bubble and flow.
  18. War Horse
    This is a beautifully built, classically framed movie, shot with the unshowy natural expressiveness of a John Ford Western by Spielberg's great cinematographer, Janusz Kaminski.
  19. Footloose
    Stepping into sacred shoes once worn by Kevin Bacon, Wormald handily owns the role for a new audience. Same goes for a terrific Miles Teller (Rabbit Hole) in the sidekick role of Willard so memorably originated by the late Chris Penn.
  20. Happy Feet Two
    Earnest messages about bad climate change and good parenting skills have been replaced by a we-all-share-a-planet sense of fun that's more "Finding Nemo" than National Geographic.
  21. Paranormal Activity 3
    The bottom line, for me, is this: I don't scare easily at horror films, but I watched Paranormal Activity 3 in a state of high anxiety.
  22. The Future
    As she did in her striking 2005 debut, "Me and You and Everyone We Know," July creates a fluid cinematic universe.
  23. Real Steel
    Real Steel is directed by "Night at the Museum's" Shawn Levy, who makes good use of his specialized skill in blending people and computer-made imaginary things into one lively, emotionally satisfying story.
  24. Margin Call
    You could describe Margin Call as a thriller (it's wired with suspense), yet the tension all comes from words.
  25. Horrible Bosses
    A bouncy, well-built, delightfully nasty tale of resentment, desperation, and amoral revenge that does for employer-employee relations what Danny DeVito and Bette Midler did for the bonds of matrimony in the great 1986 Zucker brothers comedy "Ruthless People."
  26. Wanderlust
    I don't know what tools of the trade Paul Rudd and director David Wain share to dream up the kind of inspired nutso stuff Rudd has done in smart-funny-raunchy winners like "Wet Hot American Summer" and "Role Models." But whatever it is, the two are in a groove - and backed up by some blissed-out creative co-conspirators.
  27. Certified Copy
    The end will haunt you.
  28. Coriolanus
    With its warring factions, citizen uprisings, guerrilla insurgencies, political intrigue, bloody warfare, family tensions, and homoerotic subtext, Coriolanus is one of the year's best political thrillers.
  29. Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives
    Spirit, animal, and human worlds coexist in dreamy harmony in this remarkable drama.
  30. Iron Man 3
    Iron Man 3 is an ominously exciting, shoot-the-works comic-book spectacular.
